Tourette syndrome is a neurological condition characterized by sudden, repetitive movements or vocalizations known as tics. These symptoms can vary in intensity and may have a significant impact on daily life for some individuals.
Tourette syndrome often first appears in childhood and may change over time, with symptoms sometimes improving or fluctuating through adolescence and adulthood. While some individuals experience a reduction in symptoms as they age, others continue to navigate ongoing challenges that may be influenced by hormonal changes, life transitions, or nervous system activation. Symptom intensity can vary during these periods, as well as in response to increased stress.
Acupuncture is used as a supportive, complementary therapy to help regulate the nervous system, reduce stress response activation, and promote a greater sense of physical and emotional balance. Care is focused on supporting overall wellbeing and improving quality of life alongside appropriate medical care.
Testimonials:
"I struggled with tourettes as a child and a naturopath helped me rid it. Never would I have thought my tourettes would appear again after a very stressful situation. I was scared and went to Sydney because I didn't know what to do. After several treatments, my tics are gone, my stress is gone and I feel level. I cried, because I thought it was going to be with me for life. Thank you." -LH
"I am personally grateful for my family member seeking help for me with acupuncture. I do not pressure anyone else to choose the same, but it is valuable for everyone to know their options. Especially because I recognize this is a condition that I personally would not have just 'grown-out' of." - PS
